  MAGA Morons are fantasizing that all these new high-paying manufacturing jobs will be coming back, but thats not the plan.

  The new factories will be sweat shops without safety/ health/ environmental regulations, paying minimum wage (or less, if they can end it). They will primarily rely on teenage child labor, using young people who are desperate for jobs after all the fast food jobs have been automated.

  Thats the Sociopathic Oligarchs’ dream.

  Give the finder $100, and use the other $100 to buy pizza and soda for the crew.

  My mom loved Schwann’s mostly because she liked the driver. Then they changed their delivery model, and she quit.

  The stuff was pretty good, but it was about the same quality as the frozen stuff in Publix, and Publix is about half the price. I’m glad she stopped buying from Schwann’s, and is saving money. There’s still a lot of stuff in the freezer, some we’ll never eat - why would she order frozen fried rice? She hates Chinese food.

  Perfect. After Discovery, Enterprise is the next weak link. Everything else is pretty great.

  I’ll give it another try, but I’ll skip that ridiculouus first season

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Season 3 Teaser Trailer | Star Trek: Strange New Worlds⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  I got to season 3 before bailing, but season one was really ponderous. I’m really over the Star Trek obsession with Klingons.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Season 3 Teaser Trailer | Star Trek: Strange New Worlds⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  I cant wait. I’ve loved all the Star Trek series except Discovery. I just couldn’t get into it, and I tried hard. Maybe I’ll give it another go before this comes out.

  So his version of HitlerPig’s John Baron?

  The MuskRat should get Big Ballz and the boys to program a video game, so he can have a new revenue stream to replace Tesla when it goes bankrupt, which sure looks like the future of that company.

  I was a 12 year member with nearly a million karma. I was permabannef right after the inauguration, for repeating an anti-HitlerPig opinion I’d repeating numerous times before he was elected.

  I came to Lemmy and found out I wasnt alone, i was part of a bloodbath. I’ve seen posts from many people with 10+ year accounts who were banned. We’re the people who built that site, and made it what it was. Somehow we managed to be active for over a decade without a problem, but suddenly we all became violators in the same month, and need to be banned.

  Now we find out Spaz wants to buy TikTok, AND The MuskRat threatened him. No doubt the threat was that if he had a prayer of being awarded the privilege of buying TikTok, he was going to have to obey, and violate Reddit’s foundational free speech mission. The classic Reddit is dead.

  I habent seen anything like the bot action on Reddit.

  I miss some great subreddits, especially a lot of cool guitar subs. I still look at them, but it does bother me that Im not able to give advice to new guitarists, or even tell luthiers how beautiful I think their guitars are.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bluesky made more money selling T-shirts mocking Mark Zuckerberg in one day than it has in two years of selling custom domains⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Don’t feel bad, Reddit has been sliding for a long time. Lately, every thread started with dozens of bad puns, followed by Russian bots.

  I used to visit certain subs just to out the Russian Karma Farmers. I got so good at finding them that finding them became almost a game. When I identified them, I would address them directly, I would identify them for everyone else in the thread, and make fun of their lame propaganda.

  Then I would address their supervisor, and tell them that this guy was terrible at his job, that I clocked him within a few hours of his registration, and hed be better off at the beet processing factory. They would disappear almost immediately, with no pushback, confirmation they were frauds.

  Lemmy has fewer people, but so far all we’re really missing is the worst of Reddit.

  I was on Reddit for 12 years with nearly a million Karma, and I got permabanned soon after the Inauguration for repeating an anti-MAGA opinion I had posted numerous times before he was elected.

  I came over to Lemmy, and discovered that I was only one victim of a bloodbath, demonstrating that Reddit had decided to forego their free speech mission, and grovel for their new masters. Pathetic punk ass corporation.

  I never wore a Reddit shirt, but I’d happily wear a Lemmy shirt.
